New to LTspice, need help, please.

[Esperado]

I'm stuck with LTSpice, new to it, trying to learn-it with a project.
Attached is a real life working amplifier "Crescendo" from the Elector review. I believe my schematic is good as i cannot find any error.
But it shows DC F...-up.
So i suppose my models for transistors or fets are not correct. Can-you, please, help-me to make this amplifier working in LTspice, for i can propose to the community a nice improvement of it in the next future with a project i would like to realise.

You can ask-me for any other element you will need. Attached, the ".asc" and '.net' files.

Thousand thanks in advance.

feedback R11 should be kOhms?

I would "zero" all ps, Vref bypass C by editing their multipliers to f (femto) - otherwise long RC time constants can make DC solver errors take seconds of sim time to decay

to share a sim with 3rd party device models the simplest is to just put the models directly on the schematic with the .op "spice directive" cmd

First, thanks for your nice answer JCX.
Yes, R11, corrected. But the problem did not comes from there. Still the same: -64V in the output..
I'm sorry, but i had not understood your following remarks. As i says, i'm brand new at those Spice programs, and this one looks to me like a miss. So fee warnings, no tool to edit models from the manufacturers data sheets, quasi no models delivered with it, and a very confusing and not ergonomic interface (to my taste).
So, i imagine you have to explain-me the things like to a baby ;-)
And no French translations of the help file do not makes the things easy for me, English is not my native language...
Error log said a lot of things i do not understand neither (i feel stupid):

Updated schematic with models on it, as requested. Please, i really need help.

Esperado,
The two P channel mosfets are upside down, and this is why it's stuck at the negative rail.
I suggest you start with a really simple circuit, with ideal current sources for the input long tail pairs, and an ideal voltage source to set the output mosfet bias. When you have it working properly, then replace the ideal current sources etc with the actual circuit. This makes fault finding much easier.

You saved my life, thanks a lot for your help and care, Paul.
It works wonderfully now. Can 20 years away from electronic explain such a stupid mistake on my side ?
